“A Revolutionary Act
A hug, a moment of embrace;
once an ordinary thing,
now an act of revolution.
See her smile there!
The mask of shame lifted;
teeth, shining bright against
the gold of the sun; it's rays of love
wrap the skin as if to say, "it's okay."
A touch has become a weapon.
The evil use it against us, as they label
us dirty and contaminated.
Uncover and breathe the free air again!
I set the captive free from demonic chains
that bound the humblest of folk~
confined no more by their black cloak.
We run through green meadows, lined with blue
and purple violets and daisies.
Children laugh and throw toys about
like the free-spirited tots they are.
The lowly, lifted up upon our barter
of silver and gold; hungry no more.
The psychopath, brought down by the wolves;
hunted, as the masses grow weary.
Tired of their lies and raunchy alibis
they ready themselves to strike at the polls.
No more will they accept their false claims
that we are a danger to ourselves and others.
No more shaming the unmasked;
we will live free or die fighting!”

“A RIB is a rigid inflatable boat, and this has an engine at the rear which pushes the nose up and out of the water as it bounces along at a great speed. This was a good-sized one and I realised that it must have an antigrav component because it never sank in the water though the team of Neptunians got on with us. The marine engineer steering it took us out to the dive boat, a large – to our eyes – vessel over a mile offshore. We sat back and gripped the rope lacings along the sides and breathed in salt spray air, grinning foolishly at our friends and each other. The RIB engine was so noisy that we couldn’t really talk but we were relishing being right down at water level, streaking across the Thames estuary, heading for the most dangerous boat in the world.”

“A “rich environment” is a combination platter of novelty, unpredictability, and complexity — three elements that catch and hold our attention much like risk. Novelty means both danger and opportunity. To our forbearers, a strange scent in the wind could be prey or predator, but either way it paid to pay attention. Unpredictability means we don’t know what happens next, thus we pay extra attention to what happens next. Complexity, when there’s lots of salient information coming at us at once, does more of the same.”

The story of a poor man's life is written on his body, in a sharp pen.”
